Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10S is a genuine double acting, double rod, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Twin guide rods keep the tooling from rotating.

About the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10S
Double acting and double rod, the TACED20X10S pushes a 20 mm piston through a 10 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling from rotating and take side load, so a small gripper or stamp stays square without an external guide. The magnet fitted under the -S code lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report end positions.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 10 mm stroke version slots into tight fixtures, pick heads and compact test rigs. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the speed range is 30-500 mm/s. In practice, plan for roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating; guide rods: stainless steel (Ø12-40) / S45C (larger). Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used). Twin guide rods carry the side load and stop the tooling rotating.

Where the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10S Is Used
Small-part ejection on rotary tables
The 117.8 N through-rod push clears machined pins from fixtures on a indexing dial table, and the twin guide rods keep the ejector pin from twisting as it enters the bushing.
Sample press in a lab tester
A 10 mm stroke with equal 117.8 N in both directions seats and retracts a sample platen in a compact benchtop test station, with CMSE switches (enabled by the -S magnet) confirming each end.
Carton flap tuck on a packing line
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a tight guarding panel, and the non-rotating yoke keeps the flap-tuck plate square across thousands of cycles at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa); step down for light clamping, up if your part mass grows. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, the female M6x1.0 rod thread is standard on the yoke, and the -S magnet in this model is what makes CMSE / DMSE switch mounting possible.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACED Guided Compact Cylinder TACED20X10S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both sides work on the rod-side area, so output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded gantries. This TACED20X10S carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal both end positions; a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end impact.
